THE EX - LIVE AT CLUB MANUFAKTUR (SCHORNDORF)

LAST SATURDAY I HAD THE PRIVELEGE OF SEEING THE EX PERFORM IN SCHORNDORF NEAR STUTTGART (THIS IS ACTUALLY WHERE THEIR DRUMMER KATHERINA IS FROM). I HAVEN'T BEFORE SEEN LIVE ROCK MUSIC THAT BREATHES IN THE WAY THEIR MUSIC DOES, CONTAINING A SATISFYING INNER TENSIONING OF THE ORGANIC AND MECHANICAL. AT ONE POINT THE BARITONE GUITARIST TERRY GAVE ME A PROD IN THE STOMACH WITH THE HEADSTOCK OF HIS GUITAR. HERE ARE SOME CAMCORDER CLIPS FROM THE SHOW, FEATURING SONGS FROM THEIR MOST RECENT ALBUM "IF YOUR MIRROR BREAKS":
